Banker's throne

Hi,
Does anyone on the forum possess a Banker's throne as used by the London cane pole angling fraternity? Or failing that, maybe have some photos of one?
I've seen the picture in Michael Nadell's Poles Apart and also found another picture on the net of an item that was auctioned but otherwise have struggled to find out much about them.
I'm hoping to make one so it would be good to have some pointers as to how they were constructed.
Cheers!

I don’t but I thought I’d seen one on a dealers site and, for once, my memory was reliable. It’s next to bottom of this very long page.

Been a dream of mine for years.. best to date is an old fishing box in the same style and shape but frankly very much a compromise.
I wonder what happened to them all? One for a pattern might be helpful...

I heard that Fred had converted his to a commode - he's not as young as used to be

This may help regarding some kind of construction?

Thanks for that - they look great! I think they may be beyond my abilities though!
